Chapter 739
Trillions of assets? Was that a joke? Wynn’s eyes widened. She looked at Philip suspiciously, stretched out her hand to touch his
forehead, and chuckled lightly. “Phil, you don’t seem to be running a fever.” Philip smiled faintly, hugged Wynn’s little waist, and
said, “It’s nothing. I’m just teasing.”
Wynn did not say anything else but went to greet the other directors. Cynthia watched as Philip and Wynn whispered sweet
nothings. She stomped her foot and left the venue. She had to find out Francis’ condition and wipe Philip’s *ss! After all, the
Larson family was finding ways to cooperate with Beacon. If something happened to Philip, the cooperation would be over. It was
just a minor incident, but the aftermath was quietly brewing. Half an hour later, the atmosphere of the whole reception gradually
relaxed, and the guests attending the banquet began to interact. After all, the episode that happened just now had nothing to do
with them. It was Beacon Group’s disgrace. At this time, Juan visited Francis several times to understand his general condition
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbefore returning to the hotel. As for the latter, he did not go to the hospital at all but immediately left the hotel without any
indication of his whereabouts. Perhaps a storm was already unleashed. Juan felt very uneasy when he realized that his biggest
backer tonight was gone. However, he still had a plan B, so he was not very worried. He stood silently, observing Wynn and
Philip while speculating about his next move. At this time, Mr.
Isaac Jenks, the host of the reception and also a famous pharmaceutical industry representative in
Riverdale, took the stage. Isaac was a heavyweight in the pharmaceutical industry in Riverdale. Once
an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, he now devoted his life to the development of
the pharmaceutical industry. He was a well-respected academician–An upright, elegant, and generous
person. Therefore, Beacon had made huge efforts to invite him to host the cocktail party tonight. After
all, the reception tonight was related to the future development of Beacon!
Isaac was not present during the conflict between Philip and Francis just now. Otherwise, according to
his temperament, he would definitely have come forward to stop it. Furthermore, Isaac had a certain
relationship with Old Master Hane too. As soon as Isaac appeared on the stage, the people slowly
gathered in front. They heard that a heavyweight guest would be there tonight and many people were
guessing who the other party was.
Especially the people in this circle who were already elites in their own rights. Now that they heard
there was going to be heavyweight guests, that identity must be extraordinary! Isaac fiddled with the
microphone and gave a rather humorous opening speech. Although he was getting on in his years, his
mental state was still intact and one could not notice his age at all.
“Distinguished guests, today, everyone knows that there’s another heavyweight guest present, but they
don’t know who she is. I can’t help it.
Chairwoman Johnston asked me to keep it a secret, so blame her if you want to. This person does not

and smiled softly.
“There’s another special guest tonight? Why haven’t I heard of it before? Is that person’s identity really that amazing?” “Uh-huh.”
Wynn said, “Her name’s Vivi Joo, a popular foreign superstar. She was once voted the most popular celebrity in Time Magazine
with fans all over the world. She has just returned and has plans to develop her career in the domestic market.
“Others may only know that she’s a popular star, but they don’t know how terrifying her background is,” Wynn continued. Vivi
Joo? Why did this name sound so familiar? When Philip heard it, his brows wrinkled slightly as his whole body trembled! He
stared at Wynn in a daze and felt that it was ludicrous! “Are you sure the special guest tonight is Vivi Joo?” Philip was astonished.
If he did not overthink it, then it might be another person with the same name, which he fervently hoped was the case. “That’s
right. Why, are you a fan too?” Wynn glanced at Philip as a faint smile appeared in the corner of her eyes. After all, Vivi was an
international superstar. Although she was mainly active abroad, she recently returned and had been reported by various media.
She was definitely a major torrential wave in the domestic entertainment industry! “Is it really her? It can’t be such a coincidence,
right?” Philip mumbled. “Don’t tell me you don’t know who Vivi Joo is?”
Wynn noticed his reaction and exclaimed in surprise. There was someone who did not know Vivi Joo?!
